I've been playing around with the tune "Shadow of your smile".Played it as a bossa nova,ballad,etc..The opening line of the melody has always been a challenge;simple arpeggio upwards then down to a C# over an F#m7 starting the downbeat on the second measure.
Came across this yesterday,I played an F#m7 chord in the left hand F#,A,C#,E over the B bass in the first bar-held the chord and simply move the bass to F# which made a nice smooth full sound.So,is this technically a Bm 11 derivative?
It's a great tune,nice melody;but it always lacked the "full " sound I wanted to hear-chord wise until i tried this.Makes for a very nice way of leading tones
